Citizen Kane is a tale of greed. A tale of a man who was corrupted by his own money and power. But most of all, Citizen Kane was a film of it's time and is still revered as the greatest film ever made.
Charles Foster Kane, played by Orson Welles, is our main character, a tycoon who was adopted by a banker, and taken away from his birth family.
Something that is often talked about is the films rather unconventional beginning, which just so happens to be the end of Kane's life. The films plot focuses on a reporter who is investigating Kane's last word " Rosebud".
